Keening

The keening stench of decay emanated from the garbage dumpster, making it difficult to pass by.

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
